Here we encounter a mammal that looks dinosaurian, a Southern White Rhinoceros. While the Northern White Rhino is functionally extinct (only two older females known to exist), their Southern cousins are only Near Threatened, with some 17, 460 still in the wild. Despite their current population, they are threatened with loss of habitat and continual poaching for their horns which are used in traditional Chinese medicine. When I took this photo, I was wondering how much do rhinos eat. A quick search found this on the Maryland Zoo's website which says, "White rhinos are eating machines. They spend about half of their waking hours eating and the rest of the time resting or perhaps wallowing in mud holes. White rhinos are very large animals that must eat up to 120 pounds of grass per day to sustain themselves. They will drink whenever and wherever they can find water but can survive up to five days without it."
